The Stranger--Welles, not Camus

Brian here again: One of the many perks of being in a university setting is that we get to borrow movies from the library for free! The downside of this is that the library's selection isn't exactly overwhelming. We've borrowed a dud or two so far, but tonight we watched The Stranger, starring and directed by Orson Welles. It was great! Gripping plot development, excellent acting, and near-perfect camera work. It's one of those black-and-white movies that should never be colourised (note the British spelling) as the whole thing is shot to use the black-and-white to maximize the mood.

All the movies in the library have a sticker on them that says, 'University of Sussex Library. For Educational Use Only.' Yeah, right. It brings a whole new meaning to the question, 'Hey Jordan, do you want to study with me tonight?' As one of my hallmates back in my undergraduate days said, 'We're college-educated men!' Of course, he was 'studying' a globe that opened into a mini-bar.
